The Stomatophyta are a proposed sister branch of the Marchantiophyta (Liverworts), together forming the Embryophyta.[1] The Stomatophyta consist of the Bryophyta (Moss), and the remainder of the Embryophyta, including the Anthocerotophyta (Hornsworts). The word stomatophyta means plant with stoma.[citation needed]

An updated phylogeny of Embryophyta based on the work by Novíkov & Barabaš-Krasni 2015[2] with plant taxon authors from Anderson, Anderson & Cleal 2007[3] and some clade names from Pelletier 2012 and Lecointre, et al.[4][self-published source?][1]
